Objective:To investigate the pre-pregnancy vitamin D level and pregnancy outcome in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA).Methods:A prospective study was performed in 4 534 patients with URSA from May 2017 to April 2019 at Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University. The serum Vitamin D levels was obtained before pregnancy. Pregnancy complications and newborns outcomes were recorded after pregnancy.Results:The serum vitamin D level of patients with URSA before pregnancy was (42.22±16.27)nmol/L, and the proportions of vitamin D deficiency, insufficiency and sufficiency were 72.3%, 24.0 %, and 3.7%, respectively. The Vitamin D level was positively correlated with age ( P<0.05); The age of vitamin D<50 nmol/L group was lower than that of vitamin D≥50 nmol/L group ( P<0.05); patients with vitamin D<50 nmol/L had higher proportion of spontaneous abortions ≥3 times than those with the vitamin D≥50 nmol/L ( P<0.05); The level of vitamin D was negatively correlated with the ratio of CD3 + CD4 + T cells in peripheral blood ( P<0.05); In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the final model adjusted for age, abortion frequency and season. The risk of pregnancy failure was increased in vitamin D <50 nmol/L group [30.6%(76/248) vs 17.9%(12/67), χ 2=3.67, P=0.02], OR=2.02(95% CI: 1.02-3.9); In the group of vitamin D<50 nmol/L before pregnancy, the risk of newborns entering NICU was increased, OR=3.16(95% CI: 1.15-8.65). Conclusions:Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in URSA patients before pregnancy, which correlates with the times of previous spontaneous abortions and recurrent pregnancy failure. Vitamin D deficiency before pregnancy is one of the high-risk factors for URSA.

AIM To investigate the preventive effects of taurine on the left ventricle hypertrophy in renovascular hypertensive rats. METHODS Two-kidney 1-clip (2K1C) rats were used to establish the model of renovascular hypertension. The myocardial local aldosterone(Ald) and AngⅡconcentration (MDC,MAC) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Expression of oncogene c-fos mRNA was analyzed by means of in situ hybridization. The myocardial collagen concentration (MCC) was measured by biochemical method. The myocardial tissue structure was observed under the microscope ,and the myocardial fiber diamension (MFD) was measured with micrometer. The linear correlation between MCC, MFD and MAC or MDC was analysed respectively. RESULTS Compared with sham operated rats ,the MCC, MAC, MDC and MFD were significantly increased in 2K1C rats ( P
